Due to the pandemic, the Golden Ball of the 2019-2020 season was cancelled, but in recent days a rumor spread in Europe that the organization of the event could give the award to the Polish forward of the Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski.
During that period, the scorer deserved it, as he scored 55 goals and distributed 10 assists, numbers that made him one of the best players in the world.
He deserves it, but…
Furthermore, he won the German Cup, Bundesliga and Champions League in Lisbon, when he beat Barcelona, his current team in the quarterfinals with the famous 2-8.
Well, given the rumors, well Nicolas Manissierdirector of the award, came out against the comments and denied them, as it was said that he would present the award to the Pole.
“We are not considering awarding the Ballon d’Or to Robert Lewandowski for 2020. As an institution, we have our own regulations that we rigorously respect,” he said.
Lewandowski has won the Player of the Year award Fifa twice and was elected the Player of the Year of the Uefa on one occasion, but the Ballon d’Or remains the award he has never achieved.
